It's Groundhogs Day today
So somewhere a young black man will be
getting his teeth kicked in by cops
protecting and serving
It's Groundhogs Day today
So the desk clerk pretends not to notice
the girl is too young to be his daughter
the man is too old to be her father
he looks mean and doesn't speak english
so he pretends not to notice
It's Groundhogs Day today
So the pain doctor opens for business
he suspects he's seen this man before
he hurt his back how
he was smith now he's o'brien
but he is open for business
after all it's Groundhogs Day
It's Groundhogs Day today
So somewhere a sick man counts the minutes
he's just trying to make it through today
his wife holds his hand
she counts the minutes too
It's Groundhogs Day today
So a polluter gets millions
while the local suits
who get thousands
pretend not to notice all the sick kids
It's Groundhogs Day today
So the lying congressman ducks down a back hallway
he's got no comment
he's got no comment
It's Groundhogs Day today
So pop a quarter in a slot
they're everywhere now
because gambling will fix
what machine-gun ownership couldn't
It's Groundhogs Day today
football manifesto
modern Byzantine chariot wars
divide
control
It's Groundhogs Day today
don't read
absorb
don't think
react
it's groundhogs day today
It's Groundhogs Day today
So we'll attend another funeral
he was too too young
he was a skateboarder too
then we'll all go back home
and get a good nights sleep
Because it's Groundhogs Day tomorrow, too.
